DOOMTROID - SUPER METROID + DOOM

Artist - GrievousGeneral(DeviantArt)

Super Metroid - Será que depois de 30 anos ainda surpreende?

Super Mario é considerado um fenômeno dos videogames, mas nós também temos de lembrar de uma série de games que faz parte do pilar da Triforce Nintendo, constituída por Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, e é claro, Metroid. O terceiro título da série Metroid foi lançado em 1994 para o SNES, denominado Super Metroid. Em certos aspectos, Super Metroid aprimorou diversas mecânicas de exploração não linear, característica dos games anteriores. Itens novos foram adicionados à tabela de colecionáveis que Samus pode adquirir, como um gancho elétrico, tanques reserva que se assemelham aos Sub-Tanks usados por "X" em Mega Man "X", e as botas de supervelocidade, que permitem Samus correr de maneira descomunal em certos lugares. Em resumo, Super Metroid revolucionou a maneira como os games com a temática de exploração deveriam ser implementados, e acabou inspirando obras de grande renome, como é o caso de Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, que fez um sucesso estrondoso. Diversos outros games replicaram com sucesso a fórmula de Super Metroid, como por exemplo Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, um game elaborado pelo ex-Konami, Koji Igarashi.

Hi I can’t write for shit, but I’m trying

[thumpypuppy]

Hi lovely followers! It is once again Bandcamp Friday and we invite you to support us if you are interested in the In Stars and Time OST or our newest release, DOOMTROID.

https://thumpypuppy.bandcamp.com/

Today's random thought:

Music theory is DEscriptive, not PREscriptive.

If you can tritone sub the dominant V for the bII7 then why can't you use that as the pivot for a key change and treat the bII7 like the V7 of the new key? Boom. Tritone modulation.

Do whatever you want. There are no rules.

Also Bandcamp Friday is coming up. First Friday of every month Bandcamp waives its fees for the whole day, which means artists get a bigger cut.

If you don't yet have the ISAT OST, that's a great time for you to grab it, and if you haven't yet heard our latest album DOOMTROID we'd love it if you checked that out as well.

Happy Pride Month from your favorite all-queer video game music studio!

We've got some exciting things cooking right now, but until we can say more please tell all your friends about our work, including our latest release, DOOMTROID.

[thumpypuppy]

for the isat soundtrack, did you use pre-existing soundfonts, make your own, or didn't use soundfonts? i don't know much about music production so bear with me. also, if the first option, which ones did you use?

Fantastic question!

So there was exactly one song that used sound fonts (the SNES strings), otherwise it's entirely softsynths, multisamplers, and some recorded guitar and bass for a few songs.

If you're just getting started in making music there are a lot of free synths available from Native Instruments, and the Spitfire Audio LABS series has loads of cool free stuff as well. (You can also find bunches of free VSTs online!)

I have a lot of stuff in the studio, but I'll list out some of my current favs:

Xfer Records Serum - It's an absolutely incredible modular synth that has two channel AM/FM/RM modulation, wavetable synthesis, a bunch of really cool built-in effects, and there's so much automation you can do to create really amazing sounds.

Toontrack Superior Drummer - I have v2 + Metal Foundry, but they have a v3 now and loads of libraries available. Super customizable, absolutely the next best thing to just mic'ing up a kit yourself.

SubMission Audio Eurobass III - Honestly such a precise bass multisampler that has really detailed velocity and articulation control. Features heavily in our last album, DOOMTROID.

So to answer your question, a lot of things are either custom-designed in the studio or are built off of multisampling engines and then further modified and EQ'd to have a very particular sound.

I would just like to say that composition is FAR more important than having fancy plugins and experience with sound design and mixing, so go find yourself a bunch of free VSTs and focus on your composition first and learn the engineering part second.

Our new album is on the horizon! A ridiculous fusion of metal and mystery, a journey of the protagonist to the Forgotten Planet to discover her past and forge herself anew.

Art by @lunarcrossingart who did an absolutely amazing job!

Be on the lookout for the album dropping next week on Bandcamp, Spotify, and other streaming services!

[thumpypuppy]

Too excited about what we're cooking up not to share a shaky video of it.

"Doomtroid"

Game in stores never, because no one has made it yet and we're composers, not developers. 😜

[thumpypuppy]

Amidst all the nonsense, a new album emerges, releasing soon on Bandcamp and Spotify.

[thumpypuppy]

What's the name of the boss you fight in Doomtroid?

[thumpypuppy]

Oh no, it might be time to unleash some really really old (like pre-Serre old) material… in case y'all are curious about what life might have been like before (popular) games…

Some notable bangers include this cover of Cascada's "Every Time We Touch" featuring an actual recording of an old Game Boy, this Steven Universe Fan Song, this precursor to a DOOMTROID track, this song that placed 68th in the audio category of Ludum Dare 34, this Title Theme that doesn't have a game, this weird thing I can't believe I made entirely on a Game Boy, this whole entire club banger again made just on a single Game Boy, this fever dream, and this Toby Fox cover of the silliest and most unremarkable piece of music from Undertale.

[thumpypuppy]

hello, good day! we are huge fans of your work and are wondering if there's any way to support you outside of purchasing your music? like do you accept donations via ko fi or something like that? thank you for your time. (:

At present there isn't anything else, but a Patreon is in the works, and meanwhile you can just tell all your friends about us.

(Also aside from ISAT we put out an album called DOOMTROID we'd love for more folks to hear!)

[thumpypuppy]

After ISAT OST and DOOMTROID we're looking for something new to do.

What kind of music should we write next? Wrong answers only. 💙
